Try dragging right to left and see if that makes your welding more stable. I was taught to drag your stick instead of pressing it towards. If that makes sense. I'm not professional stick welder either but it sure helped me. I used to work a cement plant as shift maintenance, it was part of the job description. Making repairs to the pipe lines ect
What rode you using?
Wish you were local 😂
Come on now supporting Logan Paul with 5$ prime drink
4 isnt enough voltage, 5 is a bit to much voltage, but add the extension cord and the voltage lost makes 5 land right in the sweet spot. Makes perfect sense really
Ikr, that's what I was thinking.. now he needs to crank it on five and just change cord lengths to 'dial it in'...lol. Obviously the ground wire is also a big factor.
it's his outlet's contact, extesnion cable should make little if any difference, unless it doesn't provide enough current because the wire isnt thick enough etc, but not going to happen with this cheapo welder, what's going on with that is MOSFETS/Coils will cook quickly and stop working temporarily/permanently and be inconsistant, for brief quick stuff it should be fine, but the reason big arc welders weigh a ton is becuase they have big heavy copper coils(for a reason). Modern tech can negate some but not all of(the need for) that
For the duty cycle problem since the welder is only $10 buy 2 and alternate between the two every 10 minutes.
😂😂😂
I think you might need a few more to make that work
Yeah cuz you probably have to leave it off for 30 minutes if you use it for 5 , therefore you need probably like six of them
That is amazing it even welds at all for $10. I have a 250 amp stick welder and a 70 amp hobby stick welder. I'm not great at either but my mig welder can weld anything. But for a cheap portable stick welder for limited duty it's worth a try. Thanks for the video Casey
Did you find the ad? I did not, don't think it is real for under $60.
@@tonysimpson8048it’s real, the price goes up but with temu you can get them with the saving coupons for about 30 bucks like I did today
By experience, my advice is, move the stick more. Back and forth about a 1/4 inch in little horse shoe shapes. This spreads the heat more evenly and forces the puddle to lay more evenly into the stack of dimes look. DRAG the puddle rather than push. Shit i just gave up a secret that people pay a lot of money for school to learn.
It is appreciated
I follow "if there's slag drag" same for flux core mig
not what i learned in school but aigt, its fine. Only dabbled in stick welding industrial pipes 15 years or so, in 20 years i will be semi pro lol
thanks for sharing. dunno how we're gonna beat commies at manufacturing when they get marched into a place and told exactly how to make things, but we're busy keeping every 'secret' to ourselves. less crabs in the bucket couldn't hurt.
My advice is don’t take advice from this guy
Casey,
My wife bought a dinky little welder for me a couple of years ago. I think she got it for $80.00. It's about the size of a lunchbox (for you old farts that remember those) and weighs about 6 lbs. It's a 200 amp on 220v. Or, 160 on 110. It came with an adapter, a welding hand screen and a few other accessories. I thought she just wasted her money until I tried it. The cables seem to be heavy enough and it doesn't seem to have too bad of a duty cycle. Granted, on thinner steel, my welds are atrocious. But, I was very surprised that this thing works this good. I'm using 1/8" rod. Usually, 6011. It has a digital readout and goes down to 20 amps. I actually welded my exhaust back together with it. So, it was controllable on thin steel. I could have really used those glasses under the truck. I have my big 295 amp Hobart, but it's a tad heavy to move around. If you need to weld something that's farther away than my cables, you're screwed. So, the little welder has been getting a workout.
One thing on rods sticking, how damp are they? I have a barn that gets pretty damp, and those rods suck up moisture. They dry out after they get stuck a couple of times, and you can weld fine afterwards.
Im a retired farmer, now a hobby welder! I have deligated my inverter welders to wallhangers in favour of my vintage 1975 Miller Econotwin HF AC/DC, i can use most any rod for stick welding and 150 amps is all i need.
This is something that I definitely want to learn welding, and it feels like it's a great tool to start with and for 15 bugs definitely I'm getting it, thanks dude
I took a welding class and freaking loved it! Even though it was in the middle of August in Mississippi.... That was awful, class was great.
Dang every once in a blue moon i need to weld stuff in the backyard, i hate lugging my whole rig out back, this would be a an excellent solution
Thank you for taking one for the team. I saw this on Temu for $89 and wondered if they are useful. I wonder if you can run it on a higher amp plug and it would do fine. My little HF Flux Core Wire Welder recommends 12AUG/20 Amp wall plug. I wouldn't get one because I don't weld much and it just seems too awkward.
Very useful for the ten dollar price point! Impala back in the shop!!!
I have one of those welders and love it , I payed more for it on temu but still like it , no problems out of it so far , I used 1/16 6013 rods on like 2 setting and does good on exhaust pipes but that is 3800 watts at full he is pulling alot of watts with it dont know what his breaker is but im only using 20 amp with no problem the lower the setting the lower the watts with the rod size I used the watts should be real low and the duty cycle should go higher because of the lower current draw and the trigger switch does make a difference to easily release when getting the rod stuck every so often.
I started to teach myself to weld about a year and a half ago. At the time I could only afford a stick welder I picked up for around 100.00. First thing I welded with it... thin sheet metal for the core support on my 65 f100. Learned really quick how to manage the the heat with a stick welder to weld thin stuff ( after swearing a lot ). I can do it, but I dont like to.
Careful if you ever weld galv that shit will make you suck as a dog
@@bigasianman006 Oh Ive done that. Ground down the top coat of it but it still smoked like a chimney. Luckily I was doing it outside so there was lots of ventilation and there was a breeze.
Have you gotten a stitcher for those fender repairs yet? My uncle let me play with his years (actually decades) ago. Nifty 😅
@@bigasianman006if my pipe isn’t made from galvanized steel I don’t want it
My brother has about the same one except its bright green and we welded his trunk latch back on and where it doesn't look great (we're not welders) it holds great for the amount of pressure in the trunk
Smart review with a bit of comedy and frank up front conclusion ! Totally CooL as usual....I can Arc weld all day, gas I was okay at, never had to do it at work, I wonder if they should just make it a traditional box and leads set up, would be a small compact unit and by your review it's obviously fair kit !
I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE I ALWAYS LEARN SOME THING NEW!!!!!
I just got, I 'm learning. I used for a rounded nut, broken bolt, with good results. Thinking about the lawn tractor frame ( using a right angle bar with stamped holes for now ) also got a broken weld on cutting deck. We'll see. My first time using, getting use to the snap and settings
Really cool! Wish I had this when I was rebuilding my cabover Peterbilt.
As a beginner I think this product will help me with basic I hope. Thanks for the suggestion
Perfect timing. Just got the whole setup 2 months ago. Welder, glasses, rods, and haven’t used it yet. Paid $60 for everything on TEMU. A friend familiar with it said you have to move the dial while welding to fine tune it.
Thank you for your help on this video, I know nothing of welding and seen this gun for sometime and wanted to try it out on small projects. you made it look so easy and provided great info , like cuting the ground shorter and the rod to use. if i find it for this cheap ill get it. as i mentioned i know nothing of welding perhaps a few pointers before i get in to this stick welder would hughly help.
again thanks for the vid Brotha.
That dial should be a potentiometer, which means you need to really play around and probably write your best settings down. For thin, try a 1/16 rod on 2 and go from there. You may actually cook bacon! (For those of you that don't know, a proper weld should sound like a pan of frying bacon). Looks like I'll be ordering one of these as well as those auto-gogglea!
I'm not even a welder and I agree. A smaller rod used on a lower setting would probably get more desirable results. I might even get one myself and give it a go.
@@williammessenger9637Can't hurt . It's a skill worth learning . Thanks man .
I have a Lincoln welder, but when I just need to tack someone under a car or whatever, this thing is perfect. Well worth its money for what it is.
This would be perfect to keep in a motorhome for small repairs.
If you have a power inverter in your off road rig it would be handy to do trail repairs to get you off the trail.
Most inverter welders will not weld low heat unless you switch to 1/16" rods. They also have extremely low duty cycles. That means that if you are doing a lot of welding, the welder needs to cool down for a while in between welds so the transistors don't blow up.
noob
Dear God what have you been reading
😂
A good inverter welder typically has a better duty cycle than a big transformer (cooling is problematic).
17 noobs thumbed up his post lol
Those glasses would be good for a welders helper or someone who has to work in close proximity to someone welding.
Hey Casey, thanks for the review, very good!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I NEED TO BUY SOME OF YOUR MERCH TO SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.
I have a Miller welder, but this would come in handy if I just had a small project or something quick to do.
Cool review. Those glasses are awesome. CRX's were probably my favorite car from the 90s. Checking those out now i see you did two at least. Nice!!
When I was down in Florida with the navy? Did sometime in a ship yard and they used to bake the rods for 24 hours at 300° and then a 1/2 hour before the welders came in. For their rides they would take a matter of the oven and let them cooh. Every once in a while a welder , which sticks around and he'd leave it there for thirty seconds because it was one of the rides that did not get dry. It is great to have a continuous duty welding machine. So I don't know how well that would work on that little pistol. Welder but i'm thinking about it.
Nice job. Thanks for sharing with us
I sincerely appreciate your video. Im honestly trying to teach my self how
One of the best
Intros on RUclips great video
Well of course I jumped on Temu to grab one of these welders, but sadly the price I was offered was $95 dollhairs. I will keep my eye on it for sales maybe. I have a basic TIG set up now. But I'm a terrible welder, so of course Janky SKetchy Chinese Welding Equipment will help me out. Cant what to try this one out.
For a guy like me who is never welded in his life but have done soldering would this be a good welder for me to use and try to practice welding with what size stick rod work the best I might buy one of these
I've only ever welded with a stick welder and it's only been a couple of times. 😅 I do have other welders, I haven't welded with them yet. I think they need to do a little more product testing on those $10 welders! Thanks for sharing! 😁👍
Amps and Voltage are definitely NOT the "same thing at all!"
I laughed hysterically when he said that.
I found glasses in the welding area at Rural King they were about $15 and I figured they would be good for dealing with spot welds and similar. I had a day where I spent hours driving into the sun well I threw them on and it made the drive much easier. So I bought a second pair. These are now my new sunglasses. They work great as long as I don't need to use a GPS.
TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO CASEY!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE FACTS ON THE PRODUCTS YOU USE ON YOUR BUILD. THAT IS ALL IS ASK. GIVE ME THE FACTS ON ANY PRODUCT. .
Loved it mate .I need my exhaust welded and this has gave me an idea lol
Great video: funny, informative and very Casey.
When you ran the extension cord did you use the same outlet? Maybe it's your structural wiring?
Great review man! I'm also loving the BMW/stang! I have a bunch of wrought iron bars on windows around my house. There are some rust holes at the bottom of the bars that I want to weld. You think this would work? What sticks would you use?
Hey Steve, Just read your and i also am a not often welder.. What i know and hear is - rusty 6010 , take the flake rust off and a light grind/ sand and 6010 will stick, 7013 for the "top coat " weld.. Cheers
I think being a little welding machine it probably needed to get a bigger/ thicker earth cable, and having it shorter probably helps trying to welded thicker steel. I've got a welding machine that is designed to use a 15 amp fuse when welded a thicker steel. If it is running, throw a 10 amp power it will trip out the fuse because it's working too hard. That smaller machine is probably better at welding 3mm, 1/8 inch steel
This would be perfect for a trail rig to carry along just in case you need to make a repair on the trail.
I've used off the vehicle, lawn tractor. Is a car safe, if i used to tack up a new hanger bar on the exhaust. Should i disconnect battery, or how do i protect all electronics in the vehicle
I got one, was $200, figured I would try, have not used it yet but this gives me hope
I think it welds better with an extension cord because of a slight voltage drop and amp increase when using a drop cord. Just my thoughts and thank you for sharing this video and testing for us
Can you use it if you have a pacemaker ?
As a Ag technician I would see the grasses being useful welding in tight spots inside combines.
I can’t believe that you got that so cheaply, you were lucky not hurting yourself when you were burnt, I have a few scars that are in unmentionable places from using the low hydrogen rods and man they hurt. Best sticking to the Mig for the car panels.
As for using sticks, the rule of thumb is 40 amps per mm ( it’s metric system here in Australia), but will need tweaking if you overheat whatever you are welding.
Take care buddy, have an excellent day
Where did you find this thing for $10???
Thanks for the review. I am not a welder but would like to at least learn the basics. Thought this would be a complete fail. Nice to see it isn’t although seems to finicky. Anyone suggest a good beginner welder?
Im curious if the weight of the gun makes it a bit squirrely trying to run a clean smoothe bead? Slag in your shoes?
Those glasses would be great for tending to a cnc plasma table
use 3/32 6011 for thin material, play with settings, and move fast for the setting..
I did a lot of Arc welding on Thin Material working on the railroad.
7018 gives that nice buttery weld TEMU advertises..
The adjustment wheel is like any digitally controlled welder and like any welder you need a way to adjust the output, it doesn't feel like it's doing anything but it does. I have a small DC welder that's all electronically controlled and it's the same, not like the old transformer stick welders that weighed more than a dead body and it took hands like a pro wrestler to adjust the distance between the transformer windings to adjust the current output. I just looked on Temu and they want Au$116.49 (around $60 American) for this welder. Please voltage and amperage are not the same thing, put simply voltage is what allows the current measured in amps to flow. Different altogether.
When i adjust the voltage on my living room dimmer it doesnt feel like its doing anything. But the light changes.
Great video. I'm gonna try one.
Did u try different sizes welding rods would make a difference on the settings
That would seem like it's useful for quick tack welds before using a real welder to finish the job.
fantastic review 👍
Can you please provide a link for where it can be purchased?
The smaller rod is probably a 60/10 used for the root pass. The 70/18 or whatever it is is probably mild steel and used to cap the weld. It is softer steel.
I bought a balaclava to go with those same welding glasses. They are good for when using a plasma cutter too.
🤣 Your intro was temu spot on 😂
I have one like that from Temu that is 115 AC Volts. It has its limits like metal thickness being the biggest. 1/4 in vh thick steel is pushing it. All in all it makes a good weld. Takes a little practice to get to know it's rod and steel limits and it's own characteristics
Did you pay $10, I can't find any including the one he shows for under $67. Is this even for real price?
@@tonysimpson8048He said in the video they come up occasionally on deal for 10$ but usually they are around 70$
also depends what weldo rods you use and the prolarity, i can see it being throwen in the bin if i got one haha i can tell i would hate it by just the fact it's like welding with a drill, guess it might be handy for some people but i'd hit the duty cycle all the time with the amount off welding i do, i cant see it lasting long though, my lincon just craped it's self the other week but it is 20 odd years old
For stick welders, lower settings are for different electrodes. If you're welding a thinner metal you will also need a thinner rod.
If you have kids who might want to come into the shop and watch, these could be good for that.
Assuming it’s not for long periods of time and not up close.
Cheap enough to have a couple pair hanging by the door.
I can think of a few cases where this would be useful, like if you need to weld something off the ground where it's not feasible to lug a large welder up there
How many amps is the breaker on your 120v outlet? Try putting it on a 30amp dedicated circuit. By itself
Can you provide a link to the sute were you purchased it from?
where did you get this welder from
I think your lower settings would be for a thinner rod?
20:30 you need to whip and pause back and forth on the thinner stuff to pull the heat back off of it. the thin stuff will blow out like that when you keep heat on it. also would love to see this do vertical welds like on sheet metal. im tempted now to use this as a lil field welder, maybe grab one for my dad for his cabin, this looks like it would run off of a 2000w generator.
I brought a small mig welder a while ago, does stick and Tig as well and it took about 3 hours to melt thru the earth strap as well, I was pretty annoyed as it was around a thousand bucks to last a few hours and then have issues😒
Them welders are $180 nzd now haha, with a discount, you've increased there value
My dad got one I think the same one it looks the same. He does small projects makes his own bull bars,rock sliders, bumpers ect all with a small "buzz box" and well it worked it was fiddly but did about 2 small projects then it burnt up oh also raised our electric bill by $300.00 +tax for the week it was working..
if it does ok on heavy stuff at 5 maybe use a smaller rod and setting around 3-4 for sheet metals? if its that lightly made then mostly for tacks and sheet metal maybe
Gotta love a tutorial by casey 😂😂😂
Yeah it' seems like them old harbor freight cheap welders. I still use it because its easy to move around but you have to have it on the highest setting to push some amps otherwise its not very useful.
You can run a 110volt welder on an extention as long as thw cord is a heavy guage
I can't stick weld for sh*t using any 60xx rod. However, using 7014 I could pass as a pro welder. 60xx rod has a tensile strength of 60,000 psi. 70 is 70,000 psi. The tubing you are using is 65,000 psi. The only downside of 7014 is it doesn't weld overhead very well. Also, 7014 has thick flux around the rod. You can litterally lay the rod into a corner and it will lay a nice bead without stiring or holding the rod away from the metal.
I agree 7014 is the easiest rod to stick weld with and I can’t weld for sh*t either unless I’m using a tig or quality mig
Yeah 7014's make great welds as long as the surface is flat, as in parallel to the ground. If you just hold the rod about 45 degree angle, and push your hand straight down, pushing the rod in not trying to hold a gap, they make beautiful welds and the slag should just fall off by itself once cooled.
i suspect that dial is a potentiometer setting the digital control. make sure it has clean wipers (grind it back and forth). try messing with it while its running, see if it jumps all over the place like it's a crap potentiometer like your sony walkman volume control had
that prime is more expensive than that the welder in my country (Lebanon) lol. great vid!!
I’m no pro welder but is it a good idea to weld on a wooden bench??
how about a link can't find it anywhere
Might be good for welding nuts to broken exhaust bolts and extracting them
Very funny intro. Perfect editing 😁
The fact that it is even capable of welding is crazy
welding near the phone, very smart choice!
Wonder if the length of the stick changes the heat due to electrical travel
Saw guys in Africa wearing big wool hats with holes for eyes and dark shades for stick welding .
Just wondering shud u test on vehicles that will be used what if it looks ok but fails. Idk
i really am amazed, i thought it was just a joke and that you had put a welding rod in a cheap drill
Wish i knew what it was valled id love this one a lot more than the other one i wanted.
arr, that thar be a beauty, o ground strap shortener!!!
